CAREERS IN ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP

The ability to lead with sharp interpersonal skills, collaborative decision-making and keen instincts is more important than ever in today's dynamic organizational world. Unlike a Master of Business Administration, the MSL does not train people to lead specialized business processes, such as finance or marketing. Instead, it prepares people for broad cross-functional leadership, whether as general managers or as training and development specialists/managers. With a Master of Strategic Leadership degree, you will be professionally competent in these five core skills:

Leadership Skills:
Use training and assessments to support leadership development of employees in mid- to large organizations.

Systemic Skills:
Recognize and solve problems systematically based upon evidence and value-based criteria.

Strategic Skills:
Lead departments in their strategic analysis, visioning, and planning processes to create alignment.

Interpersonal Skills:
Draw upon ethics and biblical principles to communicate clearly and positively influence colleagues in workplace, community and global contexts.

Professional Skills:
Use organizational assessments to improve team performance, efficiency and quality in enterprises.
